Very Good

It's a rustic cabin that's pretty quiet. There's no Wi-Fi or tv so if you want to unplug for a while it suits that purpose. The lodge was nice and good hikes around the area
We had a wonderful time at the Big Sur Lodge. Our cabin was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The staff were friendly, the breakfast at the restaurant at the lodge was tasty and very convenient. Overall it was a great experience.
The room was very clean and comfortable! The Access to Pfeiffer State Park and trails was a giant plus! We were right by all the iconic places in Big Sur. The staff on site were very nice and friendly:)
One of the most lovely weekends I’ve had in years. No Wi-Fi no television, I just loved it. The grounds are very peaceful. The room was large and accommodating great amenities.
It works for a park lodge (don’t expect luxury). My cabin shared a wall so noise could be an issue.

Courteous staff and easy check in. Roomy cabin (14), but there was a distinct smell of burnt wood (from the fireplace). Location is ideal if you want to visit the nearby parks or trails.
